The equation of the line is y = 0.8x - 1.4 if the slope of the line is 0.8 and line passes through coordinates (-2,-3)
<h3>What is a straight line?</h3>A straight line is a combination of endless points joined on both sides of the point.
The slope 'm' of any straight line is given by:
The slope m = 0.8
The line passing through coordinates (-2,-3)
y = mx + c
y = 0.8x + c
Plug the point in the equation.
-3 = 0.8(-2) + c
c = -1.4
y = 0.8x - 1.4
Thus, the equation of the line is y = 0.8x - 1.4 if the slope of the line is 0.8 and line passes through coordinates (-2,-3)

We have been given that a retailer buys cases of 24 shirts for $30/case and then resells them in packs of 5 for $8/pack.
Further, we know that retailer sold all the shirts he purchased and profited $84 on the sale.
Let us first find LCM of 24 and 5. The LCM is 120.
Now, let us assume that the retailer bought 120x shirts. Therefore total profit will be:
We can set this equal to the given profit to figure out the value of x first.
Therefore, the retailer sold 120(2)=240 shirts, that is, 48 packs.
